Navigate the Journey to Leadership with an Inward Focus

We each carry an imaginary backpack of experiences, gathered from childhood onward. We bring that backpack with us to the workplace. Despite its weight, the pack becomes a security blanket, difficult to put down. Instead, we compensate by creating a routinized manner of working. While sufficient to allow functional and technical proficiency, using the same set of management tools has diminishing returns as we we fail to make critical connections, engage a team, and drive mission and vision.

To successfully navigate the journey to leadership, managers need to look inward. A personal development journey enables vulnerability. That brave walk allows the manager to consider where have I come from? What do I want? Where am I going? Whose help do I need? What is missing?  To answer all of these questions requires an inward focus and often the help of a coach.
